Stuff like this only happens in the Territory 
WHAT was meant to be a quiet morning in an Arnhem Land community turned into a croc-wrestling episode after a 2.5m saltie found itself in police lock-up.
The bail-up happened when the croc was cornered by camp dogs in a residential backyard during its journey from the drying Arrmunbu Billabong in the centre of town to the permanent Injalak Billabong on the outskirts of the community.
Gunbalanya School preschool teacher Gordon Canning said locals from the remote Top End community in Western Arnhem Land woke to find the reptile on May 30.
“The croc’s plan came to a halt when it was bailed up by dogs, who shattered the morning silence,” Mr Canning wrote in an account of the incident. He said several dogs came close to the croc’s jaws as it defended itself before it managed to escape and seek refuge in a backyard.
It was later discovered by local man Jayred Dawson-Smith and his dog Gypsy who called on neighbour Hamish Robb to help get the croc back to where it belonged.
With the help of other neighbours and local police who arrived quickly to the scene, the croc was secured by two ropes and a T-shirt to cover its eyes.
Police then pounced on the reptile and secured the jaws with tape and cable ties. The crocodile was then carried to the back of a waiting police car and placed in protective custody until it could be released later in the morning.
